WILLIAM E. LANE, OF PEEKSKILL, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO GEO. P.

MARSHALL, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT ON KINGSBURVYS COAL-STOVE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 47,649, dated May 9,1865.

To all whom it 11mg/ concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. LANE, of Peekskill, Westchester county,New York State, have invented a new and Improved Heater;. and I dohereby declare that the following is a full and exact. descriptionthereof, reference beiughad to the accom panyin gdrawings, and theletters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in pro- `vidin g a semi-jacket for aheater, with tubes leading from its sides up through the products ofcombustion to its top, as in the Empire heater, or G. J. Kingsburysheater, patented April l2, 1859, which semi jacket extends from, ornearly from, the bottom of the heater to a point above the holes leadinginto the aforesaid tubes, where the semi-jacket joins the sides of theheater, thus directing the ascending air into the said tubes, where itwill be heated to ahi gh degree and delivered above more effective forwarming purposes.

To enable others skilled inthe art to make and use my invention, I willproceed to describe its construction and operation.

I take a heater aforesaid, the outside of which is represented by A,with tubes, B B', extending through A at m, up through the top at y, andsurround the lowerpart with a semijaeket reaching from near the bottomand about two inches from A to a point opposite above which it isconnected with a rim or cap, as represented by C'. The operation of thissemi-jacket is to direct the air passing up and heated partially againstthe lower part of the heater into the mouths of the tubes B B', overwhich it will otherwise chiefly pass.

In the stove or heatrr of G. J Kingsbury the products of combustion passup through spaces formed in the double ring B D D that forms at the sametime the upper part of the lire-pot, a cap for it, and a support for thecentral reservoir. Between the upper and lower parts of this double ringare channels, as ff, communicating with the air outside the pot near itssummit or its juncture with B D, as shown by the arrow above J, and alsocommunicating by small orifices t' t with the l spaces through which theproducts of combustion pass. rlhus the air supplied at this pointbecomes intensely heated, and is in a favorable condition forcompletingA the process of coinbustion already begun, and producing aninconstruction and combination of the double` rings, their channels,orifices, 8vo., by which the more perfect combustion is produced, I do`not wish to claim them; but as the application of my semi jacket withthe tubes utilizes and' economizes more completely-the results ot'combustion, 4

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the semi-jacket C with the Empire heater of G. J.Kingsbury, for the purpose and in the manner substantially as set forth.

WM. E. LANE.
